Class A extinguishers are for ordinary combustible materials such as paper, wood, cardboard, and most plastics. Class B fires involve flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil. Class C fires involve electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. Never use water to extinguish class C fires - the risk of electrical shock is far too great! Class D fire extinguishers are commonly found in a chemical laboratory. They are for fires that involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, potassium and sodium. Water extinguishers or APW extinguishers (air-pressurized water) are suitable for class A fires only. Dry chemical extinguishers come in a variety of types and are suitable for a combination of class A, B and C fires. BC -. The BC variety leaves a mildly corrosive residue which must be cleaned immediately to prevent any damage to materials. ABC - This is the multipurpose dry chemical extinguisher. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) extinguishers are used for class B and C fires. CO2 extinguishers contain carbon dioxide, a non-flammable gas, and are highly pressurized.

BPham- 7th Class A extinguishers put out fires in ordinary combustible materials such as cloth, wood, rubber, paper, and many plastics. Class B extinguishers are used on fires involving flammable liquids, such as grease, gasoline, oil, and oil-based paints. Class C extinguishers are suitable for use on fires involving appliances, tools, or other equipment that is electrically energized or plugged in. Class D extinguishers are designed for use on flammable metals and are often specific for the type of metal in question. These are typically found only in factories working with these metals. Class K fire extinguishers are intended for use on fires that involve vegetable oils, animal oils, or fats in cooking appliances. These extinguishers are generally found in commercial kitchens, such as those found in restaurants, cafeterias, and caterers. Class K extinguishers are now finding their way into the residential market for use in kitchens.
I think that in order to choose the right type fire extinguisher, you must know what type of fire you are attempting to control. If you are not sure, your best course of action is to leave the area and activate the fire alarm. The National Fire Protection Association has divided fires into four types, determined by the materials or fuel being burned. Extinguishers are labeled as to which of the four types of fire they are effective in controlling.
A.Woods - 5th block Class A: SOLIDS such as paper, wood, plastic etc . are used for water fire extinguishers. Class B: FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS such as paraffin, petrol, oil etc extinguishers.Foam fire extinguishers are suitrble for this. Class C: FLAMMABLE GASES such as propane, butane, methane etc this uses Dry Powder Fire extinguishers. Class D: METALS such as aluminium, magnesium, titanium etc Dry Powder Fire extinguishers as well.
Class B contains combustile liquids such as gas, kerosene, grease, and oil. They can be put out by dry chemical extinguishers which are appropriate for class A,B, and C fires. BC variety leaves a corrosive residue that must be cleaned immediately to prevent damage. Class C fires involve eletrical objects such as outlets, wirings, circuit breakers, and etcetera. Never use water to put out class C fires. Class A involves combustile materials. Water extinguishers are used to put out Class A fires. Class D fires include combustile metals like titanium and magnesium. Carbon dioxide extinguishers are for B and C fires. They are highly pressurized and non-flammable gas. A,B, and C extinguishers are multi-purpose dry chemicals.
There are 4 types of fires.Class A use water extinguishers for combustible materials such as paper,wood,cardboard, and most plastics. Class B involves flammable liqud(gasoline,kerosene,grease,and oil.Its recommended to use dry chemical extinguisher but it also be useful for class A,,and C fires.Class C is cause by electrical equipment (never use water to put out the fire.) Class D fires that involve combustible metals,magnesium,titanium,potassium,and sodium. Also the ABC is the dry chemical extingusher.Carbon dioxide are used for class B and C fires. The BC leaves a mildly corrisive residueto prevent any damage to materials.
Fire extinguishers are divided into four categories, based on different types of fires. Each fire extinguisher also has a numerical rating that serves as a guide for the amount of fire the extinguisher can handle. The higher the number, the more fire-fighting power. The following is a quick guide to help choose the right type of extinguisher.
•Class A extinguishers are for ordinary combustible materials such as paper, wood, cardboard, and most plastics. The numerical rating on these types of extinguishers indicates the amount of water it holds and the amount of fire it can extinguish. Geometric symbol (green triangle)
•Class B fires involve flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil. The numerical rating for class B extinguishers indicates the approximate number of square feet of fire it can extinguish. Geometric symbol (red square)
•Class C fires involve electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. Never use water to extinguish class C fires - the risk of electrical shock is far too great! Class C extinguishers do not have a numerical rating. The C classification means the extinguishing agent is non-conductive. Geometric symbol (blue circle)
•Class D fire extinguishers are commonly found in a chemical laboratory. They are for fires that involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, potassium and sodium. These types of extinguishers also have no numerical rating, nor are they given a multi-purpose rating - they are designed for class D fires only. Geometric symbol (Yellow Decagon)
•Class K fire extinguishers are for fires that involve cooking oils, trans-fats, or fats in cooking appliances and are typically found in restaurant and cafeteria kitchens. Geometric symbol (black hexagon)
S. Orozco 5th period There are four different types of fires. Class A fires are caused by ordinary combustible materials such as paper, cardboard, wood, and some plastics. Water extinguishers are suitable for class A fires only. Class B fires involve flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, and grease. Class C fires involve electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. Class D fire extinguisher are commonly found in a chemical laboratory. They are for fires that are caused by commbustable metals. Dry chemical extingushers come in a variety of types and are suitable for a combination of class A, B and C fires. BC extinguisher leave a mildly corrosive residue which must be immediately to prevent any damage to materials. ABC are multipurpose dry chemical extinguishers. Carbon dioxide extingushers are used for B and C fires. They contain carbon dioxide, and are highly pressurized.

The C classification means the extinguishing agent is non-conductive.
What are the various types of fires and various types of fire extinguishers used for each? For class A fired, you use class a fire extinguisher. Class b fires, I'll use a, and b fire extinguishers. Class C fires, I'll use a, b, and c fire extinguishers. Class D fires, use a and c fire extinguishers. Class k fires use b and c fire extinguishers.
There are many types of fires. There can be fires with trash, wood, paper, and combustible materials. Also, there are fires that include different chemicals. Then, fires with electrical equitment, and fires with certain ignitable metals as a fuel source. But, there are many extinguishers that are used for each of these fires. Class A extinguishers are for ordinary combustible materials such as paper, wood, cardboard, and most plastics. Class B fires involve flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil. Class C fires involve electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. Class D fire extinguishers are commonly found in a chemical laboratory.

Geometric symbol (black hexagon). Water extinguishers or APW extinguishers (air-pressurized water) are suitable for class A fires only. Never use a water extinguisher on grease fires, electrical fires or class D fires - the flames will spread and make the fire bigger! Water extinguishers are filled with water and are typically pressurized with air. Again - water extinguishers can be very dangerous in the wrong type of situation. Only fight the fire if you're certain it contains ordinary combustible materials only. Dry chemical extinguishers come in a variety of types and are suitable for a combination of class A, B and C fires. These are filled with foam or powder and pressurized with nitrogen. BC - This is the regular type of dry chemical extinguisher. It is filled with sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate. The BC variety leaves a mildly corrosive residue which must be cleaned immediately to prevent any damage to materials. ABC - This is the multipurpose dry chemical extinguisher. The ABC type is filled with monoammonium phosphate, a yellow powder that leaves a sticky residue that may be damaging to electrical appliances such as a computer. Dry chemical extinguishers have an advantage over CO2 extinguishers since they leave a non-flammable substance on the extinguished material, reducing the likelihood of re-ignition. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) extinguishers are used for class B and C fires. CO2 extinguishers contain carbon dioxide, a non-flammable gas, and are highly pressurized. The pressure is so great that it is not uncommon for bits of dry ice to shoot out the nozzle. They don't work very well on class A fires because they may not be able to displace enough oxygen to put the fire out, causing it to re-ignite. CO2 extinguishers have an advantage over dry chemical extinguishers since they don't leave a harmful residue - a good choice for an electrical fire on a computer or other favorite electronic device such as a stereo or TV.
If there are different types of fires you need a different fire extinguisher. Water extinguishers are for fires that have to do with solids. Foam water extinguishers put out fires that are started with flammable liquids and solids. Dry powder extinguishers put out fires in class "A,B and C". CO2 (carbon dioxide extinguishers) put out metal fires.
Fire Extinguishers: *Water(APW)is filled with tap water used for wood, paper,and cloth fires only *Carbon Dioxide(CO2) Extinguisher is nun flammable gas under extreme conditions used for Class B or C flammable liquid and eletrical fires only *Dry Chemical Extinguishers contains fine yellow powder used for Class A B and C fires
Class A Fires: ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLES: wood, paper,rubber, fabrics, and many plastics. Water and Foam Extinguishers, Water Mist Extinguishers, Wet Chemical Extinguishers, Dry Chemical Extinguishers.
Class B Fires: FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS & GASES: gasoline, oils, paint, lacquer, and tar. Dry Chemical Extinguishers.
Class C Fires: Electrical Fires. Halatron fire Extinguishers.
Class D Fires: Combustible metals usually foundin industry. Dry Powder Extinguishers.
Class K: Fires: Fires in cooking appliances that involve combustible cooking media: vegetable or animal oils and fats. Wet Chemical Extinguishers.
The 9 types of fire extinguishers are very interesting. We have first is Class A that puts out paper, wood, cardboard, and most plastics. The next extingushishers is Class B that puts out flamible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil. The third is Class C that puts out such as appliances,wiring, circuit breakers and outlets.

Class A extinguishers are for ordinary combustible materials such as paper, wood, cardboard, and most plastics.
Class B fires involve flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil.
Class C fires involve electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. Never use water to extinguish class C fires - the risk of electrical shock is far too great!
Class D fire extinguishers are commonly found in a chemical laboratory. They are for fires that involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, potassium and sodium.
Water extinguishers or APW extinguishers (air-pressurized water) are suitable for class A fires only.
Dry chemical extinguishers come in a variety of types and are suitable for a combination of class A, B and C fires.
BC -. The BC variety leaves a mildly corrosive residue which must be cleaned immediately to prevent any damage to materials.
ABC - This is the multipurpose dry chemical extinguisher.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) extinguishers are used for class B and C fires. CO2 extinguishers contain carbon dioxide, a non-flammable gas, and are highly pressurized.

In order to choose the right type fire extinguisher, you must know what type of fire you are attempting to control. If you are not sure, your best course of action is to leave the area and activate the fire alarm. The National Fire Protection Association has divided fires into four types, determined by the materials or fuel being burned. Extinguishers are labeled as to which of the four types of fire they are effective in controlling.
There are 5 different types of fires that are classified in classes. Class A consist of wood,paper,cloth,trash,and plastics. Class B consist of gasoline, petroleum oil, and paint. In class C-motors, transformers, and appliances. there are many more classes to be classified. For class A use the water and foam fire extinguisher.
ReplyDeleteClass B- water and foam and carbon dioxide.
Class C- clean agent.
